Ah, yes, Roger's "a greenfield site" means a brand new start-up site, I
presumed.
Sorry, I did not catch those American English.
Anyone still remember the video clip of "Tape is Dead" posted in one of

Nowaday, the IBM z/OS installation media are shipped with ServerPac

But you do need a supported z/OS Driver system to kick-start the

In simple words, a *new* z/OS customer still needs a tape for initial

Maybe IBM believes that such case - new z/OS customer and no plans to
use tapes is so rare that they deliver/rent some tape drive for free...
